to @DoctorClu, I agree with @claude0001, but LineageOS also has it drawbacks, over stock, though for some they might not matter. Pros and cons....
Personally the lack of multiple key-layouts, that was broke a few versions ago, makes it almost useless for me (use it for tests only). And there might be some app that have very high security requirements that might not work.Could e.g. be bank apps, or some apps for putting official papers like drivers licence or similar identification apps on the phone. Some might work fine though, but not all.
The only way of "upgrading" is installing LineageOS 22, which will give you the equivalent of Android 15.
Since LIneageOS re-uses most of the device drivers from stock Android 9, it is unlikely that audio or camera quality will be improved. At least I do not know of any such updates.
That being said, a recent LineageOS will give you all those Android security patches since 2020, which is of quite some value in itself ...
Hi all, long time Pro1 user and all. Good to find this place.
One question as the Pro1 works OK in the stock configuation, does upgrading this improve:
*Phone speaker or microphone?
*Camera quality?
What do you all find your gained from upgrading?
Back to PC it seems. For me personally it means that I again carry around my notebook all the time.
It was nice to restart servers from my phone. I know this is still possible, but the touchscreen-hassle makes it impossible to do it properly.
My best suggestion is LineageOS on your Pro1/Pro1X, as this is Android15, so should be supported a few years yet by most apps....
But indeed for new hardware we are in a limbo, And i really doubt that anyone will attempt making a new one - though I still hope for it....
